The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's release, to players forming firm views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who often always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
